I offer apologies on behalf of our Chairman and Vice Chair. A great deal is happening in the building today, so a number of members are unavoidably absent. I understand that they will attempt to make it to the meeting later.

I will ask a couple of questions before other members contribute. Does the Department consider that the overall contract arrangements for the children's hospital were deficient?
